Paul Pogba, at the end of his contract and who has never hidden his desires elsewhere, may have played his last match in the colors of Manchester United on Tuesday during the rout against Liverpool (4-0). His season is definitely over. The French international midfielder was out after less than 10 minutes, injured in a calf. The Daily Mail headlined “ It says goodbye? »
This Friday, Red Devils manager Ralf Rangnick gave news of Pogba, who has passed additional exams, at a press conference. “It’s very unlikely that he plays until the end of the season,” Rangnick said. The doctor told me that he will need at least four weeks to recover and the last match is at the end of May. »
Pogba arrived at Manchester United in 2009 from Le Havre before returning in 2016 for a transfer of 105 million euros after a 4-year spell at Juventus Turin. The Italian club is also one of the applicants to recruit Pogba, like PSG.
Forced to inactivity, Pogba, who had a difficult season at Manchester United (1 goal, 9 assists in 27 games) will be able to think quietly about his future. But an extension seems excluded. He is no longer unanimous among the supporters who have taken a dislike to him. He was booed when he was substituted in the 3-2 win over Norwich on Saturday. Faced with “Pogba clears”, he replied by covering his ears.
Without its midfielder, Manchester United, current 6th with 54 points, faces this Saturday Arsenal (5th, 57 points) in a match which could prove decisive in the perspective of the 4th place synonymous with qualification in the Champions League.
